Mission

Engage Globally enables community-led sustainable development by engaging local partners in education, job training, small business development, food security, women's empowerment, and environmental conservation. Our primary programs are in rural Northern Ghana, where we collaborate with local leaders and nine village communities. We also engage in environmental education online and in collaboration with community partners at the Children's Eternal Rainforest, in Monteverde, Costa Rica. By focusing on long-term partnerships we pursue a truly grassroots and collaborative approach to creating meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable progress.
